The 99th Tour de France completed it’s 3,496.9 km journey through Belgium, Switzerland and France, today. History was made with British rider Bradley Wiggins of Team Sky taking the final maillot jaune (yellow jersey) being the first of his country to do so, his teammate Chris Froome joined him 2nd on the podium, also a first. Another teammate of Wiggins, Mark Cavendish, also made history with his fourth straight victory on the Champs-Élysées.

As we start the 4th week of the baseball season, there’s a lot of fantasy goings on. At least in my clubhouse. Since 2007, I’ve been an avid fantasy baseball owner. Playing a daily pitch and ditch style, monitoring who’s hot and who’s not, and making moves to better my team. I’m a huge fan of baseball.

But like most devout fans, my fandom wavered.

I am, very much, a worldly sports fanatic. I love baseball, but in the sports list of things I like to watch and stay on top of are also, soccer, football, basketball, lacrosse, racing, playoff hockey, cycling, rugby, and Aussie Rules Football, among many. So when big things happen in sports across the pond, I usually find out about them before most. Today was no different.

NFL Street, the original on GameCube is a game that I thoroughly enjoy. Even once in a while I get the urge to beat it and recently I got the urge.

I pretty much play it the same way every time. I go through the challenges and build up my custom team, complete with naming my characters.

I’m amazed by some games like this.

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! It’s Daytona. No wait, Monday, Monday, Monday it’s Daytona. After a very long wait the NASCAR season finally got it’s first “Gentleman and Danica, start your engines!” under the lights Monday night at Daytona International Raceway.

It was wrecks, fire and delays. And it wasn’t a Michael Bay remake of Days of Thunder. It was the actual race.
